I'm obsessed with kitchen storage hacks. With not a lot of cabinet space to work with and a few too many appliances (it's my job to test them!), I am always looking for ways to maximise the space in my kitchen. At this point, my pantry is chock-full, so I am a little desperate for some extra room. And we all know that cluttered countertops instantly make your kitchen look messy!
I was browsing my local IKEA store the other day and spotted the PÅLYCKE Clip-on hook rack, which is designed to slide underneath cabinets to hold things like your mug collection, to free up shelf space.
Anyway, I had a light-bulb moment when I saw it and thought it would be great for holding cleaning rags underneath my sink, instead of them just sitting folded in a corner — and getting lost in the chaos that is this corner of my kitchen. And for $2, I thought I might as well give it a try.
Why we love IKEA's PÅLYCKE Clip-on hook rack
The reason I love these clip-on hook racks so much is simply that they are so easy to fit, with zero drilling required. This also means that you can move them around your kitchen to where they're required, but not only that: they actually look nice, so if you decorate with black accents in your kitchen, these hooks will blend right in.
One clip has three hooks, and they're not only perfect for dish towels, but you could also hang cleaning rags on them, as well as wooden utensils, mugs, measuring cups, a measuring jug — pretty much anything that you use on a regular basis, while you cook, to keep it in arm's reach.
Rated 4.9 stars out of 5 by shoppers, most use it in their kitchen for extra storage. But one shopper claims it works perfectly when placed in their entryway, for holding their keys (genius!), and another uses it in their bathroom cabinet. Another reviewer reports using theirs in their closet, and it works great for holding lightweight handbags or baseball caps.
